...if you knew you'd get a legit produced credit out of the production? This is a re-examination of a very popular question, still going strong over at http://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/Serious-question-would-you So many incensed aspiring writers have exploded with indignation that their work isn't being seen as worth what the writers believe it should be... so, now that I've (hopefully) dragged you into this, let me rephrase the question to what I believe to be the original question's core meaning: Which is more valuable to the aspiring/unproduced screenwriter: the paycheck or the credit?

Easy answer... Yes! If it was indeed a legitimate producer able to make things happen... in a heartbeat! At the beginning, credit is worth much more than a paycheck!
